Looking for a safe and confidential space to connect with other trans masculine guys? This 12 week virtual group is designed for trans men by a trans man. You will get to particpate in the ways that feel good to you and talk about the things that are important to you. 

Aging while trans is a really specific experience. There are times when you are simultaneously experiencing the world as an man while internally experiencing things for the first time. Right now trans people are under attack and it can be a lot to sit with alone. This group is designed to facilitate connection, conversation, and help us all build spaces where we can feel safe and fully be ourselves.

Still not sure if this group is for you? Send me an email and let's talk about it!​

Hello! I am a white queer trans man, therapist, coach, and sexuality educator. I've been working in the field of trans health and sexual health for 20 years.  I got my start as a sexuality educator for Planned Parenthood in my early 20's where I got to learn about reproductive rights, gender identity, sexual rights, and sexual pleasure. My favorite part of that job were the sex toy workshops I provided to college dorms.

In my 20's I identified as a dyke and then as genderqueer. I physically transitioned in 2005 and somewhere along the line my gender felt more binary. I now identify as a queer trans man and use he and him pronouns.

I went to graduate school for social work so that I could support my trans and queer commmity. I had the opporutnity to work for Mazzoni Center and The Attic Youth Center, both LGBTQ focused organizations. I currently have my own practice where I provide therapy and coaching to mostlys queer and trans clients.  In 2019 I co-authored the book Sex Therapy with Erotically Marginalized Clients: Nine Principles of Support. I also teach other health care providers about working with trans and queer communities through my work at Widener University and the California Institute for Intregal Studies.

 

As a white person it is my responsiblity to challenge and end white supremacy. I am actively engaged in anti-racist learning and strive to create spaces that feel as safe as possible for BIPOC participants.
